On Farm Methane

Decomposition of livestock waste and other agricultural operations are a major source of methane rich biogas being harvested as fuel gas. Rather than emit greenhouse gases into the environment, modern farm operations invest in a digester system to recover gases and reduce emissions. Recovered gases are used to fuel co-generation engines to power the facility, and often excess power is sold to the local electric power grid. Clean energy development credits (CDM) and certified emission reduction (CER) programs offer additional incentives to implement recovery systems.

In all biogas recovery systems, measuring flow rate is required to ensure effective and efficient operation of the digester process as well as providing tangible evidence of saved emissions in order to receive credits and incentives.
